HT-300 Calibration Procedure

Old Style units with no display, just START/STOP buttons

1.) Remove long jaw, pedestal, short jaw and rubber grommet sequentially.
2.) Stand unit upright on its right side.
3.) Place the numbered restart switch on zero (0).
4.) Press and hold the STOP button, then press START. Release both
buttons, a message should print on the printer PTB-300 xx.xx.
5.) Place the restart switch on one (1).
6.) Press the STOP button. A number should be printed on the printer each
time the STOP button is pressed. This number is known as the Zero

Point. The Zero Point should be between twenty (20) and sixty (60).
Ideally, the number should be forty (40) +/- 2. If this number is out of
tolerance, please adjust by turning the Zero potentiometer, then
pressing STOP, until it is in tolerance. Shown below is a diagram of the
potentiometer, it is located on the back side of the machine, behind a
small cover plate, where the broken tablet receptacle is mounted.

7.) Place the restart switch on two (2).

8.) Press the STOP button.
9.) Place the restart switch on three (3).
10.) Place the 10 Newton bar on the short jaw mounting socket.

11.) Press the STOP button. A message will be printed xxxx N. This number
should be equal to the weight placed on the load cell, in this case 0010
N. See Figure 1.
12.) Remove the bar weight.
13.) Return to Step 7, following the same procedure, except when you reach
step 10, this time place the 10 Newton bar and two (2) 5 Newton weights,
for a total of 20 Newtons. The corresponding printout should now show
0020 N.
14.) Keep repeating this procedure, incrementing the weight by 10 Newtons
each time; 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 & 98. See Figures 2, 3 & 4.
15.) Once all weight ranges have been tested, review the results and determine
if they are within the units +/- 1 Newton tolerance. If they are within
tolerance, mark the date on it and retain this printout as proof of
calibration. If they are not within the +/- 1 Newton tolerance, please retain
the results as readings before calibration and make an adjustment to the
potentiometer Gain. Once an adjustment is made to the Gain
potentiometer, please test all weight ranges again by removing all weights
and starting at Step 7. Continue to make the necessary adjustments to
Gain until all readings obtained are within tolerance.
